The Western Cape Education Department (WCED) is encouraging all parents of learners who will be entering Grade R, 1 or 8 next year to ensure that they are ready to apply from 11 March by collecting the following required supporting documents in advance:
1. Identification – any one of the following can be submitted:
2. Immunisation card or Road to Health chart – applicable to pre-primary and primary schools only.
3. Latest official school report or academic report.
4. Proof of residence e.g. rates account/lease agreement/an affidavit made at a police station confirming residence.
If any of these documents are unavailable, parents can submit a police affidavit indicating this in place of the missing document.
Applications are to be submitted online, and documents will need to be scanned and uploaded to the online admissions system. The admissions system, as well as background information and step-by-step guides on how to apply, are available here: https://www.westerncape.gov.za/education/service/learner-admissions
Parents who are not able to access the online system can receive assistance in person at their education district office, at one of WCED's pop-up admissions sites, or at the school to which they wish to apply.
